Charging documents said that Garlick began a romantic relationship with one client about one year after providing the counseling.

Another client told Garlick she had feelings for him, and he continued to provide counseling to her while not documenting her romantic feelings, documents said. Garlick made remarks of a sexual nature to the second client during sessions and communicated outside of sessions. Documents say he hugged, kissed and touched the client and also accepted gifts from her.

In its May 17 order, the board said that Garlick may request reinstatement of his license after one year, but only after undergoing a comprehensive mental health and boundaries evaluation. He also must pay a $1,000 civil penalty.
